Kinda retarded how ppl claim red is the color of aggression and blue is gentler, subduing color and that's why red team is better.

By that logic u want ur opposing team to wear red so ur teammates can get aggresive looking at them. Cwatididthur? Bunch of bs story to make it sound plausible imo.
Act of thinking logically cannot possibly be natural to the human mind. If it were, then mathematics would be everybody's easiest course at school and our species would not have taken several millennia to figure out the scientific method -NDT

the result: both people doing these activities in the red room was able to do more pull ups and pull harder. also, yelling while doing these activities increases strength.

Do not ever get your facts from koreantv show. That's 1000 tiers below oprah.

Scroll down to the bottom to see team winning stats per map. Over enormous sample sizes, there's definitely a red bias in mirrored maps.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

Arenas (Mirrored maps):
Badlands: blue's winning
Granary: red's winning
Lumberyard: blue's winning
Ravine: tie
Well: blue's winning

I would however agree that on 5 point CPs red appears to win more
Including mirrored only:

Badlands: red appears to win slightly
Fastlane: red wins slightly
Granary: red wins by a significant margin
Well: red wins slightly

2fort I'm surprised by it not being even. My guess would be that red snipers are harder to spot than blue snipers?

Weird to see though.

LOL.. genius. Wasn't there a bug with Halo 3 for a while that if you drew an objective game 2-2 it auto won for the red team? They fixed it in a patch but that kind of crap doesn't help. In FFA in FPS games or customs in SC2 I'm nearly always set to orange anyway.. matches the screen name.

Watching that UT2k4 vid made me sad.. why Epic.. why did you have to utterly fuck up UT3! was like playing gears of war FPS edition.. slow, boring, crap. So disappointed in that game. Bought it launch, bought a new souped up computer just to play it... launch day I nearly took it back to the store and threw it over at the counter at them.

If this works i will do the same! Here is an awesome red room i found on google spoilered for huge pic.
Obviously you will never get defeated if you had a PC in there with red mouse/keyboard/headset etc. Its so red nothing can go wrong with red.

If you wear red you are more badass in real life and get all the chicks. The same applies here in games I think.

Back on my sportscollege we played in black shirts with skulls on it.
Also our corner flag was a pirate flag. That is way more badass, but I can see the pattern.

Red wins at life.

sounds very interesting, i cannot see why red should win more though, since i think one can see red better than blue?

Red is also the color of the communist regime.

HELL YEAH! COMMUNISM!

I think this has to do with experience. In games where you are allowed to pick team, the veteran player will naturally pick the color red, since blue is the color of noobishness, often being the color that you are given in any singleplayer campaign.

Red is, to put it simply, the color of multiplaying Pwz0Rage.

The title of the article should be "Red teams win more than blue in Unreal Tournament 2004", not in online video games in general.

If they want to generalize to several online video games, they have to conduct the study in at least more than one video game.

I was wondering how long it would take before a warhammer 40K reference was made. Glad to see my faith in orks is not misplaced.
